An ancient finca reimagined, Can San Mateo blends old-world charm with contemporary elegance. Set in one of Ibiza’s north-west valleys, this five-bedroom villa has been transformed by architect Pascal Cheikh Djavadi with interior design by Dymfy Erens. The original farmhouse and modern extension merge historical details with cutting-edge technology. A marble-clad kitchen, bold dining space and gallery-like lounge create a striking aesthetic. Outdoors, a sleek 17-meter pool contrasts with rugged stone walls and lush gardens. Each tranquil bedroom features organic tones and bespoke finishes, with a standout principal suite bathed in natural light. A secluded sanctuary of design and serenity for sale via Domus Nova.

The modern, clean design is enriched with layered shades and textures of green, seamlessly integrating home and landscape. Thoughtful zoning maximizes the sloping site, enhancing functionality and privacy. The design reflects Sydney-based Wyer & Co’s expertise in crafting landscapes that foster tranquillity, connection, and a deep sense of place.
